Driver A Stint: Hyman Builds the Advantage<\/p>\n
Raoul Hyman laid the foundation with a clinical opening stint, setting the fastest lap of 53.527s and steadily stretching his lead on the tight street circuit.<\/p>\n
Executing a clean run through traffic, Hyman entered the mandatory swap window (19\u201322 minutes) in control and handed over the car with nearly a 20-second cushion, putting Goa Aces JA Racing firmly on top.<\/p>\n
Raoul Hyman said; \u201cThis was our first time racing in the driver-swap format together, so it was truly a team effort. I managed to bring the car in with the lead, but the safety car meant Fabienne had to handle the restart and the pressure. She did a fantastic job and answered every challenge. I\u2019m really proud of her, and I\u2019m glad we could bring the win home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Driver B Stint: Wohlwend Delivers Under Pressure<\/p>\n
Fabienne Wohlwend\u2019s stint quickly turned into a pressure test when a safety car erased the lead and bunched up the field.<\/p>\n
The Liechtenstein driver responded with a strong restart, defended confidently and rebuilt her gap despite pressure from Ruhaan Alva. She maintained control to the chequered flag, becoming only the second female race winner in the championship\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
Fabienne Wohlwend said: \u201cThere was a lot of pressure, especially after Raoul\u2019s strong start and the gap he built. When the safety car came out, my focus was on staying calm and not cracking under pressure. I managed a strong restart, created a gap and from there it was about keeping things clean and bringing the car home safely.\u201d<\/p>\n
